Set the Option Flags 

REc,p 

Where: 

to select light strobe output 

to select a trigger output signal 

to set the P flag (positive triggers) 

to clear the P flag (negative triggers) 

Set Internal Trigger 

Enable  or  disable  the  internal  trigger.  When  enabled,  all  outputs  are 
triggered simultaneously using an internal trigger signal. This setting can be 
saved to non-volatile memory using the 

AW 

command. 

TT0 

Disable internal trigger 

TT1 

Enable internal trigger (uses previously set period) 

TT1,p 

Enable  internal  trigger  and  set  the  period 

Where: 

p

= period of the triggers in milliseconds 

For example: 

TT1,200 

Set the internal trigger to 200ms (5Hz) 

TT1,1S 

Set the internal trigger to 1 second (1Hz) 

Save the settings to memory 

AW 

The results of the 

RW

RT

RE

,and 

TT 

commands are all saved. Once the 

settings are saved to memory they are then retained when the unit is 
switched off. If this is not done, changes to the settings are volatile, and if 
the unit is switched off they revert to those in force when the last 

AW 

command was issued. 

Clear Configuration 

CL 

Clears the configuration. The results of the 

RW

RT

RE

, and 

TT 

commands are all cleared. 

Report the configuration ST 

Reports all the channel settings. Typical output is: 

CH 1, MD 1, S 100.0 DL 10us, PU 1.000ms, 
RT 1.020ms, IP1,FL0, CS0.000A,  RA24V 

CH 2, MD 1, S 100.0 DL 10us, PU 1.000ms, 
RT 1.020ms, IP1,FL0, CS0.000A,  RA36V
